The Grand Jury is not called simnlv


The Grand Jury is not called simply to
the duty of indicting offenders against the
laws. 1t is a grand inquest" and has
the power, and it is its duty, to investigate
and call attention to all public wrongs and
to failures to administer the laws faith
fully. Though it may not have the power
in all cases where it inquiries, or may not
choose to find bill of Indictment, or not
feel warranted in doing so, it can and
| should inquire into notorious public of
| Tending, and point out all such shameful
| neglect to enforce the laws, as prevails in
this matter of lottery gaming. IL has the
power to rebuke officials, from Pound
master to Judge, and from janitor to JUS
tice, who wink at the violation of
thelaws and are blind to plain duty. 1t
mas been suggested to us that the
Grand Jury has nothing to do with
the ofense committed by the sale of
lottery tickets, as that is a matter to which
police officials and minor magistrates
must attend, and that the jury cannot fluid
true bills for such misdemeanors. The
question, however, is not one of indict-
ment, and it has never been treated as
such. The Grand Jury has not been asked
to bring in true bills against lottery ticket
sellers i'll Sacramento, but it is demanded
of it, in its official capacity as county in
quisitor, that it say whether it finds, as a
matter of fact, that the lottery law is
brazenly violated here, and that officials
who should, do not intervene to prevent
the outrage. As we said on Wednesday,
so we reiterate: "While the Grand jury
is about the business of inquiring into the
Infringement of the laws let it give some
attention to the charge that, despite the
law, lottery tickets are openly dealt in in
this city, and that the officials make no
attempt whatever to check this brazen vio-
lation Of sections of the Criminal Code"

The Judges son-in-Law Says There's

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-Ex-Judg Horace
Russell, Hilton's son-in-law, was seen at his
Office in the Stewart building Saturday with
regard 20 the charges of fraud against Judge
Hilton in connection with the diposal of the
Stewart property. Judge Russell said: 81
am opposed in this case, as am in all, to
trying an issue in advance in the newspa-
pers, but ! can not refuse TO make brief
statement of general nature of the defense
All the acrimonious charges in this COM
plant are based on the transfer of the bust
ness of A. T. Stewart to Mr.. Hilton by Mrs.
Stewart shortly after Mr. Stewards death in
1876 This transfer was made by Mrs. Stew
art not upon any request nor by reason Of
any influence by Mr.. Hilton, but in conse
quence of directions which she said h d beer
given her directly and personally by her hus
band. Mrs. Stewart had remaining many
millions, quite sufficient to make liberal pro
visions for all of her relatives, which she has
done by her will. understand that moi
only Mr.. Butler, but all of Mrs, Stewart;
relatives, knew about the transfer of 1875 al
the time it was made, and the reason for it.
As the plaintiff is lawyer he knows thai
the conveyance can not now be attacked
more than ten years having elapsed since il
was made OF course such litigation and
such charges are unpleasant, but they seen
to be inevitable in all large estates Oul
answer will be filed in due time and the cas-
will then be tried. Judge Hilton must wal
until then for his vindication against all thu
malicious charges which constitute the bur
den of the plaintiffs complaint.

New YORK, Feb. 21,-Mayor Cleveland,
of Jersey City has been served with papers
in SIS, 100 libel suit brought against him
by Robert and William A. Pinkerton, the
detectives. The alleged libel consists of a
letter which appeared in a New York paper
over the mayors signature, at the time of
the appointment by the Jersey City police
eommissi oners of the J0l Pinkerton men to
guard the Delaware. Lackawanna & West
ern Railroad company's property during the

pointment, and In his letter condemning the
police commissioners for their action, he
wrote: The Pinkerton army stands ready
to charge at moments notice And what
an army it is Organized by a British
penal convict 1t Is now a power in the
